Judge FRANCIS seems to have cooled
off and resolved to lead a better life.
The lesson taught him proves to have
been most valuable one.
M
Auditor Wards move to tax the rail-
road lands has proved bombshell in
the Republican ranks. The organs and
henchmen of the grand old party are
forced to defend the railroads, and they
know what the effect will be when the
people get chance to vote at the next
election.
Editor PIERCE, and all the satellites
who follow at his heels, may rest as
sured that Dakota will send CLEvE-
LAND delegation to the national conven-
ton, and they can also understand that
their desperate efforts to create bad feel
ing between DAY and CHURCH will be
utterly unavailing.

The exit of FRED CARRUTH has raised
mournful wall over the untimely de-
mise of the genuine article of Dakota
humor. What's the matter with QUINN,
of the Bismarck Tribune? QUINN's rep
utation will suffer, however, if he
writes many more articles on the diyi-
sion question.
~
Judge WARNOCK, of the jamestown
Capital, maliciously repeats the asser-
ton made by Editor PIERCE, that the
two extra clerks employed in the admin
lstration department and paid out of the
territorial treasury are made necessary
by the labor of the staff contributions
to the Dakota edition of the GLOBE" If
Judge WARNoCK doesn't want to be
classed in the same category with Editor
PIERCE-being proved falsifier, know
ing himself to be such, and then will
fully refusing to acknowledge his mis-
take in an honorable wayne will not
make practice of printing such balder-
dash. The charge is an unmitigated
falsehood, unworthy of place in the
columns of respectable paper.

The Grand Forks territorial fair be-
gins ON Sept. 20 and continues until the
Oath. The Mitchell territorial fair be-
gins Sept. 26 and runs until the 3Oth.
The two fairs will aptly illustrate the
story of Dakota's greatness, and mark
an epoch in the history of the territory.
~
That 100000 appropriation still hangs
just beyond the grasp of the Yankton
trustees. And the Republicans continue
to howl and keep up the fruitless effort
to manufacture political capital.
~
The Sisseton lands are not to be COB
bled up so easily after all, it seems.
Even after the Indians have selected
their apportionment, no white man can
get his work in until after the Indians
have consented to sell to the United
States government and the lands have
been regularly opened. The Indians
are not disposed to do this. The fact
that the lands are being divided in sew
crafty does not signify that they are to
be thrown open to the whites for settle
ment.

Editor PIERCE has never shown enough
manlineSs to deny the falsehood that he
| originated, to the effect that employees
of the administration were drawing
salaries from the territorial treasury
while their time was employed in acting
as ''staff contributors" to the GLOBE.
| He knows the statement is false, but he
| evidently has faith in the old proverb
that lie well stuck to is better than
| the truth. However, for a man of the
| governors standing heretofore, the
position he occupies in regard to this
matter is not very enviable one.
AS soon as the friends of the territorial
administration found out the double
game that was being worked by Ed
itor PIERCE, that gentleman discovered
than the Dakota ozone didn't agree with
him. And straightway he went off OH a
vacation, to avoid meeting people whose
good opinion he valued.

Judge WARNOCK and Maj. BARRETT
comprise the army of malcontents in
I Dakota, who assert that CLEVELAND
will not get the delegation from the ter
ritory. These worthy gentlemen are
probably as unreliable as the famous
''judge" and 1.-THE MAJOR in KIT CHAN
FRAU's old "Arkansaw Traveller"
| *x
W1NsH1P, of the Grand Forks Herald,
denies that he is disappointed because
he did not get the Office from Gov,
CHURCH he wanted and for which he
made application. He says he never
made an application in his life for an
office-either to Gov. CHURCH or any
other person. Mr.. W1NsHIp is one of
the curiosities of Dakota.
THE Hon. M. II. DAY sets down on
the 'dissension bugaboo'' again i'm an
interview with the GLOBES correspond
ent at Rapid City. 1t seems to be en-.
tirely unnecessary, but probably it is
| just as well to clinch the canard sotight
that it can't roam around the territory
and make itself so conspicuous.

The statement made by Col. HUGHEs
EAST in regard to the efforts being made
to secure the resignation of Trustee
VAN TAssEL completely exonerates
Gov. CHURCH, and puts at rest the
innuendoes of certain unprincipled par
ties. who have tried to make it appear
that the governor has been a party te
some sort of compromise.

If Judge PALMER's bill-which is
printed in another column-gets through
congress. Dakota will have little cause
to complain hereafter of legal advan
tages and facilities. If the districts are
generally acceptable to the judges and
the people, there ought to be no trouble
in getting such bill through congress
